FIRST READING PRIMERA LECTURA Jeremiah 1:4-9

The word of the LORD came to me thus: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you. “Ah, Lord GOD!” I said, "I know not how to speak; I am too young.” But the LORD answered me, Say not, “I am too young.” To whomever I send you, you shall go; whatever I command you, you shall speak. Have no fear before them, because I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD. Then the LORD extended his hand and touched my mouth, saying, See, I place my words in your mouth!

Lector: Palabra de Dios.

SECOND READING SEGUNDA LECTURA Romans 12:3-13

En virtud de la gracia que me fue dada, os digo a todos y a cada uno de vosotros: No os estiméis en más de lo que conviene; tened más bien una sobria estima según la medida de la fe que otorgó Dios a cada cual. Pues, así como nuestro cuerpo, en su unidad, posee mu-chos miembros, y no desempeñan todos los miembros la misma función, así también no-sotros, siendo muchos, no formamos más que un solo cuerpo en Cristo, siendo cada uno por su parte los unos miembros de los otros. Pero teniendo dones diferentes, según la gra-cia que nos ha sido dada, si es el don de profecía, ejerzámoslo en la medida de nuestra fe;

si es el ministerio, en el ministerio; la enseñanza, enseñando; la exhortación, exhortando. El que da, con sencillez; el que preside, con solicitud; el que ejerce la misericordia, con jovialidad. Vuestra caridad sea sin fingimiento; detestando el mal, adhiriéndoos al bien;

amándoos cordialmente los unos a los otros; estimando en más cada uno a los otros; con un celo sin negligencia; con espiritu fervoroso; sirviendo al Señor; con la alegría de la es-peranza; constantes en la tribulación; perseverantes en la oración; compartiendo las nece-sitades de los santos; practicando la hospitalidad.

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST LITURGIA DE EUCARÍSTICA

OFFERTORY CHANT EL CANTO DEL OFERTORIO

(Proclaimed in Spanish) It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God.

For by the anointing of the Holy Spirit you made your Only Begotten Son High Priest of the new and eternal covenant, and by your wondrous design were pleased to decree that his one Priesthood should continue in the Church.

For Christ not only adorns with a royal priesthood the people he has made his own, but with a brother's kindness he also chooses men to become sharers in his sacred ministry

through the laying on of hands. They are to renew in his name the sacrifice of human redemption, to set before your children the paschal banquet, to lead your holy people in charity, to nourish them with the word and strengthen them with the Sacraments.

As they give up their lives for you and for the salvation of their brothers and sisters, they strive to be conformed to the image of Christ himself and offer you a constant witness of faith and love.

And so, Lord, with all the Angels and Saints, we, too, give you thanks, as in exultation we ac-claim:

Priests and Bishops only El sacerdote extiende las manos sobre la ofrenda.

Bendice y santifica, oh Padre, esta ofrenda, haciéndola perfecta,

espiritual y digna de ti, de manera que sea para nosotros Cuerpo y Sangre

de tu Hijo amado, Jesucristo, nuestro Señor.

El cual, la víspera de su Pasión, tomó pan en sus santas y venerables manos, y, elevando

los ojos, hacia ti, Dios, Padre suyo todopoderoso, dando gracias te bendijo, lo partió, y lo

dio a sus discípulos, diciendo:

TOMAD Y COMED TODOS DE ÉL, PORQUE ESTO ES MI CUERPO, QUE

SERÁ ENTREGADO POR USTEDES.

Del mismo modo, acabada la cena, tomó este cáliz glorioso en sus santas y venerables

manos, dando gracias te bendijo, y lo dio a sus discípulos diciendo:

TOMAD Y BEBED TODOS DE ÉL, PORQUE ÉSTE ES EL CÁLIZ DE MI SANGRE, SANGRE DE LA ALIANZA NUEVA Y ETERNA, QUÉ SERÁ DERRAMADA POR USTEDES Y POR MUCHOS LOS HOMBRES PARA El PERDÓN DE LOS PECADOS. HACED ESTO EN CONMEMORACIÓN MÍA.

Priests and Bishops only El sacerdote, con las manos extendidas, dice:

Por eso, Padre, nosotros, tus siervos, y todo tu pueblo santo, al

celebrar este memorial de la muerte gloriosa de Jesucristo, tu Hijo,

nuestro Señor; de su santa resurrección del lugar de los muertos y de su

admirable ascensión a los cielos, te ofrecemos, Dios de gloria y

majestad, de los mismos bienes que nos has dado, el sacrificio puro,

inmaculado y santo: pan de vida eterna y cáliz de eterna salvación.

Mira con ojos de bondad esta ofrenda y acéptala, como aceptaste los

dones del justo Abel, el sacrificio de Abrahán, nuestro padre en la fe, y

la oblación pura de tu sumo sacerdote Melquisedec.

Inclinado, con las manos juntas, prosigue:

Te pedimos humildemente, Dios todopoderoso, que esta ofrenda sea

llevada a tu presencia, hasta el altar del cielo, por manos de tu ángel,

para que cuantos recibimos el Cuerpo y la Sangre de tu Hijo, al

participar aquí de este altar, seamos colmados de gracia y bendición.

[Por Cristo, nuestro Señor. Amén.]

Ego Sum Panis Vivus by B. Strmole I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the

wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh

down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

I am the living bread which came down from heaven:

if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:

and the bread that I will give is my flesh,

which I will give for the life of the world. Amen.

Nata Lux by M. Lauridsen O light born of light, Jesus, redeemer of the world, deign in

mercy to accept the offering of praise and prayers. Who once to

be clad in flesh deigned for the lost, grant that we may be made

members of thy blessed body.

GUIDELINES FOR RECEIVING COMMUNION

For Catholics

As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of grave sin and normally should have fasted for one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental confession except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for confession. In this case, the person is to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention of confessing as soon as possible (Canon 916). A frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all.

For Our Fellow Christians

We welcome our fellow Christians to this celebration of the Eucharist as our brothers and sis-ters. We pray that our common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit in this Eucharist will draw us closer to one another and begin to dispel the sad divisions which separate us. We pray that these will lessen and finally disappear, in keeping with Christ’s prayer for us “that they may all be one” (John 17:21).

Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of the reality of the one-ness of faith, life, and worship, members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully unit-ed are ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. Eucharistic sharing in exceptional circum-stances by other Christians requires permission according to the directives of the diocesan bish-op and the provisions of canon law (Canon 844.4). Members of the Orthodox churches, the As-syrian church of the East and the Polish National Catholic church are urged to respect the disci-pline of their own churches. According to Roman Catholic discipline, the Code of Canon Law does not object to the reception of communion by Christians of these churches (Canon 844.3). Reception of the Eucharist by Christians not fully united with us would imply a oneness which does not yet exist, and for which we must all pray.

For Those Not Receiving Holy Communion

All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayer-ful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another. These persons are invited to come forward in procession, with their arms across their chest, to receive a spiritual communion.

For Non-Christians

We also welcome to this celebration those who do not share our faith in Jesus Christ. While we cannot admit them to Holy Communion, we ask them to offer their prayers for the peace and the unity of the human family.
